HEALTH BENEFITS

Although milk thistle is most often used for liver conditions, such as hepatitis and cirrhosis the herb is believed some to prevent or treat high cholesterol, blood sugar control, heartburn, upset stomach (dyspepsi), hangover, gallbladder problems, menstrual pain, depression, and even cellular diseases. 

HERE IS WHAT SOME OF THE CURRENT RESEARCH SAYS:

LIVER DISEASE

Some preliminary studies have suggested that silymarin may improve liver function by keeping toxic substances from binding to liver cells.

CHRONIC HEPATITIS C

Milk thistle is sometimes used by people with chronic hepatitis C (a viral infection characterized by the progressive scarring of the liver). In fact, a survey funded by the National Institutes of Health reported that 23 percent of 1,145 people with hepatitis C used herbal supplements, with milk thistle being by far the most common.

BLOOD SUGAR MANAGEMENT  

Several studies have suggested that milk thistle may be beneficial for people with inability to control blood sugar and poor insulin production.
